Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a spermatogonium completes cell division, the daughter cell is directed toward the lumen of the seminiferous tubule. This is the first step in the process of spermatogenesis, where the immature sperm cells will undergo further development before being released into the lumen. Once in the lumen, they will undergo further changes in a process called spermiogenesis before they are fully mature and capable of fertilizing an egg. The fusion of diploid nuclei occurs during fertilization, not during spermatogenesis. Mature spermatozoa enter the lumen only after they have completed spermiogenesis. Gamete production does not necessarily accelerate after a spermatogonium completes cell division as this is just the beginning of the process.
